had this box of Ginger Snaps in the
kitchen cabinet. When I was hungry, I
grabbed a handful. Ginger is good for
you; is it not? I even tipped the box
over for easier access. The box got
periodically emptied but thin walled
cardboard is so recyclable!
Again, as I walked my pups and listened to iPod casts, I heard this statement: “Carb loading is so 80’s!”
Curious, I started downloading podcasts on nutrition.
I listened to Dr. Stacy Sims Phd,
who researches sports nutrition. She

started a war on carbs. http://www. A thorough discussion of this problem

War on carbs? Why?

It has to do with osmolality. Osmolality refers to the amounts of solutes in What is her solution? She advocates a
solution. The more solutes the higher less than 4 percent solution of carbothe osmolality. Maltodextrin, fructose, hydrates. Gatorade has 8 percent. As

http://www.theissnscoop.com/sniinterviews-stacy-sims-phd-all-things- There is a second problem of carbohydration/
hydrate ingestion. On to the Krispy
Kremes! It doesn’t take too many KKs
to fuel a race. It takes 1.8 for a 5K.
If one was running much longer and
wanted to fuel on KKs, this is what
could happen. The brain detects a
rise in blood sugar and messages the
pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin and begins to store the sugar as
fat. If many KKs are consumed there
is a drop in the blood sugar level, then
the brain messages again that the
body is starving.

The Sunday before Fat Tuesday, Joe Cain
Day is celebrated as part of the scheduled Mardi Gras celebrations in Mobile,

Joe Cain 5K
This has been called “The People’s Parade” because it is performed by citizens without being run by a specific
Mardi Gras krewe. Originally, anybody
who showed up at the parade start
on Sunday morning could join in with
whatever makeshift float they could
cobble together.
